What is saturation and equilibrium capacity?
Although technically they are different situations, for most practical
purposes these two terms cover the point at which a desiccant no
longer adsorbs moisture. Saturation is when the desiccant is full
and even if there were moisture molecules to pick up, the desiccant
could not do it. Equilibrium capacity is when the desiccant has
pulled so much moisture out of the air that the air retains a stronger
hold on the moisture molecules than the desiccant can exert. At
equilibrium capacity, adding more desiccant will not bring the Relative
humidity any lower.
Why do you say adsorption? Don’t you mean absorption?
Adsorption and absorption are two different things. Absorption
is the chemical integration of one chemical into another. When you
drink a glass of water, you are absorbing it, as the water becomes
part of you. Adsorption occurs when one substance holds another via physical
bonds. If you spill a glass of water on your shirt, it is adsorbed
as the fibres will hold the water until heat dries out the shirt.
What are Humidity Indicating Cards (HICs)?
HI cards are designed to measure the relative humidity within an
environment. The humidity level is indicated by a colour change
of the dots from blue (dry) to pink (wet). The current humidity
level is read at the lavender (between blue and pink) colour dot.
